Thanks a lot that dit it!

To create a valid child theme – do I have to start from scratch or is there another way?

Does anyone have a good tutorial link for me for creating a valid child theme – so that I do not make the same mistakes again? I am always trying to learn so I would be thankful for a good tutorial source!

Thanks for the help.

Any ideas on how to fix the plugin problem?

Thanks for the idea. I tried the twenty ten and the header with definately was changed with the wp update. Everything else works out fine. Just need the header with adjusted to my wrapper with. Can I do that in the header.php or in the style.css?

Also I installed a plugin (Related Post Thumbnails Plugin) that does not work now. How do I get it to show my related posts thumbnails right under the post on my blog?

Thanks for all your help!!

Thanks for the fast answer. To clarify: No, the child theme was not part of the default wp install because I created it by duplicating the twentyten theme, and renaming it and so on. Then all my changes I made in my child theme of course – not in the parent theme. I also only deleted the functions.php in my child theme – thus I still got the functions.php from the parent theme.

I am using a twenty ten child theme – that I renamed to mytwentytenlilly

Ok. now I deleted the functions.php from my child theme. My blog is “back” but now I have the problem that obviously some functions are gone. i.e. the header is wider than the wrapper and so on. Also one of my previously installed plugins is not working anymore (Related Posts Thumbnails plugin).

Suppose, this has also got to do with the now missing functions.php? I could add a new and blank childtheme functions.php but what codes do I need to enter to get the header in place and get the plug to work again?

Thanks a lot!

got it. thanks.

anyone an idea? would be very helpful!!

Hello!

I was wondering if there are any news on the follow button?

thanks a lot!

@theadityajain

Thanks for your detailed reply. Wow, that’s really nice of you to send me a German version – great! sorry to bother you with my problem, but I really tried to install it following your instructions to the letter. Of course I give you a day to look into the problem – since I am the one asking a favor from you, I’ll be happy to wait.

Thanks a lot for your patience

Ok. I already had the subscribe2 plugin deactivated. However, now I did it all over again just as you said.

deleted and reinstalled your plugin.
got a page “subscribe” and selected it in the plugin settings.
did not change any of the code of course (clearly am no coding geek ??
still don’t see the follow button and now there is no subscription option on my blog whatsoever – except for the subscription page, which I don’t find so elegant in the top menue actually.

one other question: I am from Austria so most of my blog visitors speak german. can I change the texts displayed in the subscription mails? or is that also considered “changing the code”?

thanks a lot and by the way – it is 9 am now here in linz so I wish you a good morning.

thanks

Ok, hi – me again: I tried the plug in from TheAdityaJain again and got further than the first time. I now managed to install the follow plugin, edit the settings (also created a “subscribe” page). But I still do not see the follow button! Sorry for being such a pain in the ass on this.

One more question: Is there a way to “hide” the “subscribe” page in the top menu?

thanks!!

Oh, I forgot to tell you: What I want is exactly what TheAdityaJain offered: the follow button in the bottom right corner, where a visitor can enter his/her mail address and get the new posts via mail. ok, hope, I gave enough clues ??

thanks a lot!

Thanks guys for your answers. Ok. First things first: Thanks for the compliments on my “not-really-a-child-theme-theme” ?? I have no experience in html whatsoever, so therefore I am pretty proud of my diy-theme (spent an eternity in forums and so on, searching for the codes I needed to get the changes I wanted done).

I installed and activated this plugin: https://subscribe2.wordpress.com/

And also the “Subscribe2 widget” Version 1.1 – this one I can actually see on my blog – it offers a subscription form. But the first plugin, I do not even see?? Though it is activated.

@theadityajain: Tried your plugin, but it did not work! Got a “Fatal error”
